Ensemble l’Égide

Four voices and a continuo: a miniature theatre where ancient worlds come alive.
Our ensemble draws from the past what still breathes: medieval chant and polyphony, Renaissance splendour, Baroque fervour. From Hildegard von Bingen to Monteverdi, from Dufay to Charpentier, we bring to light a heritage that is often overlooked, yet always resonant.

At the crossroads of musicological inquiry and the stage, we pursue a living approach—historically informed but never rigid, exacting yet never austere. Each programme unfolds like a dramaturgy: rediscovered gems, spatial play, unexpected turns.
And at times, for the sake of audacity, we let the old converse with the new—in free, whimsical, or solemn encounters.
